Spelling Bee!

Siope participated in his first Spelling Bee this year. As soon as he found out about it he went right to work studying his list of words. He told us all that he wanted 1st place, nothing less. We were all so nervous and excited for him. His class held their competition and when Ti picked him up Siope came marching out to the car with his trophy in hand. He did it! He won first place. We were so proud of him.

The following week the top 3 from every class went on to The Spelling Bee Championship. Wow, was it intense!!! Slowly the number of kids started to dwindle down. Before we knew it, it was down to 10 kids and Siope was still in it... then he made top 5.... and then it was down to 3 kids... including our Siope! The words started to get more and more difficult. He ended up taking 3rd place and came home with another trophy!! It was so exciting to watch him compete and we are so proud of his hard work and accomplishments.
